This detached four‑bedroom house on The Maples offers practical family living with generous outdoor space and strong commuter links. Set back behind a wide driveway with an attached single garage, the property includes separate reception rooms, a utility, cloakroom and a newly fitted three‑piece family bathroom — useful for busy households.
Built in the late 1960s–1970s and updated with double glazing (post‑2002) and a gas boiler with radiators, the home is ready to occupy but has scope for improvement. The cavity walls currently have no insulation (assumed), so buyers should budget for possible energy upgrades to improve comfort and running costs. Internally the footprint is modest at around 1,023 sq ft, so families seeking larger living areas should note the overall size is described as small.
The garden is mature and private with a wide lawn, shrubs and a patio; the substantial driveway provides multiple parking spaces. Local amenities are close by — supermarkets, parks and several schools — while road links (A421) and Bedford station make commuting straightforward. The seller is motivated, which may create negotiation opportunities for an interested buyer.
Overall this is a practical, well‑situated family home with good external space and clear potential for modernisation. It will suit buyers wanting a ready-to-live-in property with scope to add value through insulation and internal updates.
